The color wheel or color circle is thebasic tool for combining colors.
The first circular color diagram wasdesigned by Sir Isaac Newton in1666.
The color wheel is designed so thatvirtually any colors you pick from it willlook good together.
Over the years, many variations of thebasic design have been made, but the
most common version is a wheel of 12colors based on the RYB (or artistic)color model.
Traditionally, there are a number ofcolor combinations that are consideredespecially pleasing. These are called
color harmonies or color chords andthey consist of two or more colors witha fixed relation in the color wheel.

Hue Hue identifies a color by name. Every color falls into
a definite hue category as indicated by the
spectrum color name on the color wheel.

Value
White added to a
hue creates a tint. Gray added to a
hue creates atone.
Black added to ahue creates ashade.
Value is the lightness or darkness of a hue achieved
by adding white, gray, or black.

Intensity is the brightness or dullnessof a hue.
A color is at full intensity when notmixed with black or white - a pure
hue. the intensity of a color can be
changed by making it duller or moreneutral by adding gray to the color.
the intensity of a color can bechanged by adding its complement(this is the color found directlyopposite on the traditional colorwheel).
When changing colors this way, thecolor produced is called a tone.
When complementary colors are mixedtogether, a dull tone is produced.
When complementary colors areplaced side by side, you increase theirintensity. This effect is calledsimultaneous contrast - each color
simultaneously intensifies the visualbri htness of the other color.

Split Complementary
Combining one color with two colors on either side of
its direct complement results in a split complementary.

RECTANGLE
(TETRADIC)
COLOR SCHEME
The rectangle or tetradiccolor scheme uses four
colors arranged into twocomplementary pairs.
This rich color schemeoffers plenty of
possibilities for variation. Tetradic color schemes
works best if you let onecolor be dominant.
You should also pay
attention to the balance

Analogous
Analogous colors consist of related colorsthat are adjacent on the color wheel.
They usually include only one primary color.
Analogous color harmony allows one color todominate and others to enhance.

WARM AND COOL COLORS
The color circle can be divided into warm and cool colors.
Warm colors are vivid and energetic, and tend to advance in space.
